The People Of Louisville, Ky.,
Worked up to a High Fever,
Over n MurderOus Assault by
Negroes on a White Girl.
Prospects Of a Desperate At
tempt to Lynch the Prisoners.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 29.-The
mayor late this afternoon issued proc
lamation calling on all good citizens
to remain at home tonight and avoid
all gatherings, adding that he would do
all in his power to preserve good order,
etc. While the mayor was inditing
the proclamation 500 men gathered in
front Of Leiderkranz hall. The jani-
tor refused them admittance and the po-
lice were endeavoring to disperse them,
when DR.. Berry, a well known physi-
clan mounted barrel and said: Since
the brutal assault on Miss Bowman
none OF our women and children
felt any security, and while he
was opposed to mob law, there was
nothing to be done in this case but
lynch the negro fiends. The law had
again and again failed to punish the
murderers. If the crime was not
atoned foi the chance would be
missed to set terrible example to the
hundreds of idle, worthless and thiev-
ing negroes who infested the alleys
and slums of the city. The doctor
was cheered frequently. The meeting
afterwards adjourned to hall near
by, where the names of about 100 citi-
would join an organized ef-
fort to lynch the negroes,
were selected. Other speeches were
made and it was determined to meet
at 10 o'clock tomorrow at the court
house..
Despite the mayors proclamation
the squares about the Jail tonight are
densely packed with men. Beyond
keeping them about half block
back, no efforts have been made to
disperse them. On Market street
about 100 men are marching up and
down each with piece of rope tied to
his arm. The mob appears to have no
leader and seems to be watching out of
curiosity for something to turn up.
The police and militia are determined
to defend the Jail, and if an attempt
is made in the night or in the morn
ing there will be bloodshed.
Jennie Bowman is still suffering in
tensely and the physicians say there
is no hope for her recovery.
ii p. m..-The soldiers have lust
been marched from the armory to the
Jail and are now stationed there. A
Calling gun squad is also on hand.
Ten thousand people are surging to
and fro on jefferson street, but 80 far
good order prevails.
About IL: 80 a. m, crowds about the
court house square have dwindled
down to 800 or 400 people and these
are dispensing gradually Three
hundred and fifty soldiers with a
gatling gun and one hundred and fifty
armed policemen stand guard at the
Jail

weather embarrasses but the condition
of the leading branches of business
is improving. A brighter sky is seen
in the boot and shoe trade, with in
creasing orders. A better demand is
seen for some kinds of leather, and
prices for the new clip of wool at the
west are higher than was expected,
though in eastern markets there is no
change. Cotton has been slightly ad-
vancing by manipulation. Cotton
goods are at present in moderate re-
quest and print cloths q shade lower.
The effect OF exceptional purchases in
March has not yet passed. Wheat rose
during the week and reached gain.
The battle between western farmers who
think higher rail rates should be borne
by the consumers and the worlds
market, which refuse to advance, does
not grow in favor of farmers thus far.
Coffee has been feverish. OF all great
industries, iron manufacture is the
most unsettled, because interstate
changes may check railroad building.
While projected increase OF iron is
heavy, business failures throughout the
country, during the eleven days num-
Der for the United States 164 and for
Canada 27, total 191 against 199 last
week and 2O7 last year.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
Effects OF the Interstate Law on Busi-
moss.

moss.
New York, April OR. G. Dunn
& Co.'s weekly review of the trade
says: "The interstate bill is doubt
less charged with much interruption
OF business that does not belong to it,
but during the past week evidences
have multiplied of it's harmful effect,
by convincing proof that Boston's ex-
port trade would be destroyed if the
customary rebates and fayoring rates
were refused. The commission was
led to virtually suspend the operation
of the second section for the benefit OF
Boston roads. Pacific railroads OBJ
tanned an exemption and reduced
their rates, except the Union Pacific,
which was by error omitted. In ses-
sion at Atlanta the commissioners
were informed of many projected en-
terprises, the contracts for which had
been suspended until the question OF
rates could be settled. A contract for
tons and tons OF paving at Marl-
boro, N. H., was refused, rates being
advanced three times as much
as expected, while vast quantities of
freight accumulated at many points
awaiting the results of an appeal to
the commission. Louisville merchants
offer complaints as to injury in
some trades. New Orleans expected
improvement but realizes none and
finds business upset. Cleveland feels
the injury in important branches.
Hartford manufacturers find that the
act threatens to exclude them from
many markets. Pittsburg attributes
TO the act much dullness, and iron
manufacturers hold that they have al
ready sustained large aggregate losses.
Thus while reaction, after exceptional
activity, was predicted and real and
considerable disturbance certain
from the uncertainty as to
it's requirements, the general
reports Of trade are nevertheless favor
able and it is cheering to note how
hopeful the spirit is everywhere ex-
pressed. Money is generally in good
supply, though in demand in Nash
vile and New Orleans. Collections
continue fair, with improvement at
Milwaukee and Cincinnati, except in
trades affected by strikes, in building
and manufacturing. Very good at
Nashville except in the tobacco trade
and less delayed than might be ex-
pected where real estate speculation

Cut OF his OrAtiOn.

AUGUSTA, Ga, April 27.-Governor
Gordon was delivering memorial ad-
dress in Market hall yesterday to an
audience of 25,OOO people. In the
middle OF the Grafton he clasped both
hands to his left side, reeled, regained
his equilibrium and begged to be ex-
cused from speaking further. He was
aided by friends to a seat. Presently
he seemed all right, but was again sud
denly stricken by intercoistal neu-
ralgia, reeled and had to be supported
by gentlemen on the platform. He
was removed to the residence Of Col,
Phiniky, where medical attendance
was provided. The governor was put
under the influence of opiates and
slept soundly for some time, awaken
ing somewhat refreshed. His wife and
son Hugh arrived in the city tonight
and are now at the bedside of the pros
trate orator. The doctor says the
danger is over, although all sorts of
wild rumors are current.

Brief Respite.

SANTA FE, N. NJ, April 2S.-Henry
Anderson, who was to have been hung
at Sacarro tomorrow, for the murder
of Alfonzo Williams, and Theodore
Baker, who was to have been executed
at Springer for the killing of Frank
Unruh, have been granted respite by
Governor Ross until May 9th. Great
effort is being made to have the sem
tencesof both communted to imprison-
ment for life, but as the supreme court
has affirmed the sentence of the lower
courts the probability is that both
men will be executed on the day set.

Manning on Labor.

LONDON, April 2S.-Next Saturdays
issue of the Tablet will contain an
article by Cardinal Manning in which
he will contend that unless the rights
OF labor can be denied the liberty OF
organization to protect them and free
dom founded upon them cannot be
denied. Toward the end OF the last
century, the cardinal says, the doc.
trines of political economy under the
plea of free contract broke up the old
relations between the employer and
employed and the conflict between cap.
ital and labor then became perpetual.
The power of capital is all but irresist-
ible, for the poor, who must labor for
the bread of life, hunger lays neces-
sity upon them of laboring for the sake
of their homes and themselves.
When the law ceased to intervene Or
CARNATIONS for mutual defense straight
way arose. The Knights of Labor and
British trades Unions repressed the
rights OF labor and the rights of associa-
ton for its defense. The conflict be-
tween capital and labor is most un-
equal. The freedom of contrast, on
which political economy glorifies itself,
hardly exists. 1t is surely church
office to protect the poor and to pro-
tect ther labor, which has built up the
human commonwealth.

venting the fire from spreading. 1t

The Alaska Seal Fisheries.

OTTAWA, April 28.-The British
Columbia members of Parliament are
urging the Canadian government to
secure from the Washington authori-
ties some indication of the line OF pol
icy which they will pursue in regard
to the Behring sea seal fisheries
during the coming session. The Brit
ish vessels which were seized in
Behring sea last year, and which were
liberated a short time ago, hailed from
Victoria. Until something definite is
learned from Washington no arrange
ment can be made by the British
Columbia sealing companies for the
coming seasons work. Mr.. Foster,
minister of fisheries, said yesterday
that he had communicated with Sec
retary Bayard some time ago in
regard to the matter, but that
no reply had been received.

the robbers went away on the loComo-

have not as yet heard whether the
mail was rifled."
Additional facts were received con-
cerning the robbery in dispatches
to Wells, Fargo & Co.
These were that the train was
held up three miles east of Papago, in
cut. The mail was robbed as we'll
as the express, no one was injured by
the shooting. When the news was
carried back to Pantano
concerning the robbery, United
States Marshal Mead and two depu-
ties, and two deputy sheriffs and two
others, started for the train. The loco
motive and cars were found at a
whistling post about mile west of
Papago. The engine was "dead," the
headlight put out and the air brakes
on. There was no trace of the robbers.
Marshal Mead sent for troops to Fort
Lowell and thirty-tive soldiers left
there at five O'Clock this morning to
scour the country. Officer Harris was
expected to arrive soon, and another
party with Indian tialers was expect
ed to arrive from Yuma to hunt for
the robbers.
Col. Wilder, superintendent Of the
mail service, said this afternoon that
he had just received dispatch from
Mr.. True, mail agent on the route be-
tween Los Angeles and Deming, con-
cerning the robbery. The mail and
express agents were given just one
and q half minutes to get out, under
threats of being blown up with five
hundred pounds of dynamite, and
they at once got out. The express
messenger saved $4,000 from the rob-
bers by hastily hiding it. The extent
of the mai! robbery Col. Wilder did
not know. Mr.. True had telegraphed
that he would send particulars from
Los Angeles. Express was running
light on this trip. With the reward
offered by the railroad company,
Wells, Fargo & Co., and the standing
offer of the postotfice department, it
will profit whoever may be the captOr
of the robbers 50 POO for each capture.
